3分钟学英语 [94]:英文"不着急"怎么说

当我们想形容一件事“不着急，可以等”的时候，英文要如何表达呢?

比如我们说先把工作处理好，其他娱乐活动不着急，可以等一下再说。这句话要怎么说才地道呢?来看今天的内容吧~

美剧原声：
Renly Baratheon: And you look tired from the road. I told them this meeting could wait another day, but...
Petyr Baelish: But we have a Kingdom to look after. I've hoped to meet you for some time, ……

Eddard在御前会议与各位大臣见了面，交谈中感觉每个人都有故事，谁都不是省油的灯……

 

今日知识点：
剧中Renly对Eddard说 I told them this meeting could wait another day.

Something can wait…可以推迟，…可以等，不着急...

Dinner can wait. We need to figure out the schedule for tomorrow first. 晚饭可以推迟。我们首先得把明天的日程安排出来。

The movie can wait. If you're tired, we can go to a later showing. 不着急看电影。如果你很累的话，我们可以去晚一点的场次。

Renly话音未落，另一位大臣Baelish说道 we have a Kingdom to look after.

To look after 照管，照顾

There's no way I can go away with you this weekend. I have a company to look after. 我这周末不能跟你一起出去玩。还有个公司需要我去照管。

这里 go away with somebody 的意思就是出去玩

Look after不仅可以是照顾一个人，也可以是照顾一个国家，一个家庭。

Why are you always out? Don't you have a family to look after? 你为什么老在外面? 难道你不是有家庭需要照顾吗?
